Neuro Anaesthesia

About the Specialty

The Department of Neuro Anesthesiology at MGMCH uses some of the most advanced, safe, and patient-friendly processes in the delivery of anesthesia care.

Neuro Anesthesiology

The well-experienced and highly skilled team of anesthesiologists along with the state-of-the-art operation theatres of MGMCH, make it fully equipped to undertake the most complex of Neuro & Spine surgeries. With an intense focus on comprehensive peril-operative patient care extending from pre-operative optimization, and intra-op management to post-operative care, the team believes in extending quality patient care, not only in the operation theatres but beyond it by optimizing Pre-op patient status in its PAC clinics.

Specialty Clinics

Pain Clinic

A multidisciplinary approach to assess, diagnose, and plan personalized treatment is used by the pain management Clinic at MGMCH. These services are for both in-house patients as well as out-patients. Managed by the Department of Neuro Anesthesiology, this pain unit uses various methods such as nerve blocks, drug combinations, radiofrequency ablation stimulation, physiotherapy, and psychological counseling to manage pain. The team’s major focus is to find out the root cause of pain and how to bring about the speedy recovery of the patient.

Pre-Anesthesia Check-up (PAC)

PAC Clinics are available in every operation theatre. Patients, who are supposed to undergo surgical procedures are regularly screened by the experts at the PAC Clinic before surgery.

Treatment

At the Division of Neuro Anesthesiology of MGMCH, we invest our efforts, time, and expertise to detect and treat various types of Ailments.

  • Sepsis Sepsis arises when chemicals discharged into the circulation system to fight the disease trigger inflammatory responses. This aggravation can trigger a course of changes that can harm different organ systems and cause them to fail.
  • Multi-Organ Failure Multi-organ failure is usually caused due to Sepsis. It is also known as Total Organ Failure. Organ failure is the dysfunction of vital organs to such an extent that normal homeostasis cannot be maintained without external medical intervention.
  • Respiratory Failure Respiratory failure happens when fluid builds up in the air sacs of your lungs. Your lungs cannot discharge oxygen into your blood. Organs can’t get enough oxygen-rich blood to work. The conditions can be acute or chronic. Respiratory failure can lead to death if not treated quickly.
  • Acute Renal Failure Acute renal failure happens when your kidney loses the ability to eliminate excess salt from the blood. Salt concentration can rise to high levels when the kidney loses its filtering ability. Acute renal failure is also known as acute kidney failure.
  • Trauma Trauma mainly refers to any life-threatening physical injuries to the body. It can be caused due to an accident on the road or a deep fall, a violent criminal act, or a natural disaster. In addition to its physical impact, trauma is also emotionally distressing for the victims.
  • Post-Surgical Complications After a surgery is performed a patient needs close monitoring. Based on the type of surgery performed and medical history, patients may show post-surgical complications. These include shock, hemorrhage, wound infection, reaction to anesthesia, and many more.

Procedures

General Anesthesia
  • General anesthesia is the state produced when a patient receives medication to produce amnesia and analgesia with or without reversible muscle paralysis.
  • An anesthetized patient can be thought of as being in a controlled, reversible state of unconsciousness.
  • Anesthesia enables a patient to tolerate surgical procedures that would otherwise inflict unbearable pain, potentiate extreme physiological exacerbations, and result in unpleasant memories.
Spinal Anesthesia
  • After proper aseptic precaution spinal needle (27 gauge) is inserted at l3-l4 space. After ensuring free flow of CSF local anesthetic is instilled in the subarachnoid space.
Central Line Insertion
  • Sites for an insertion-internal jugular vein in the neck
  • Subclavian vein
  • Femoral vein
Epidural Anesthesia
  • In this type of anesthesia, a local anesthetic drug is injected around the spinal cord in the epidural space.
Regional Anesthesia
  • The supraclavicular block is a regional anesthetic technique used as an alternative or in combination with general anesthesia for upper extremity surgeries.
Neuro Monitoring
  • Monitoring of Someto sensory and motor evoked potentials in Neuro Surgical patients.

As a general principle, the patient's blood pressure should be reduced to 20-25% below the baseline value, and prophylaxis to blunt the hypertensive response to laryngoscopy and intubation should be instituted before tracheal intubation is attempted.

Neuroanesthesia is a subspecialty area of anesthesia that deals with the complex relationships of anesthetic medications, neurosurgical procedures, and the critical care issues that surround the management of these patients.

A physician specialized in anesthesiology is called an anesthesiologist, anaesthesiologist, or anaesthetist, depending on the country. In some countries, the terms are synonymous, while in other countries, they refer to different positions and anesthetist is only used for non-physicians, such as nurse anesthetists.

As an anaesthetist, you'll assess patients' health and discuss which type of anaesthetic is suitable for them (general, local or regional), administer appropriate anaesthetics before surgery, monitor their wellbeing during surgery and provide care after medical procedures. You'll also deal with emergencies in theatre.

Anaesthetists are specialist doctors who are responsible for providing anaesthesia to patients for operations and procedures. In addition, anaesthetists have a range of practice which extends beyond anaesthesia for surgery to include pain management and intensive care.
